With a mixture of covers such as "Look at That Cadillac" by Brian Setzer and "The Devil is Bad" by The W's, as well as original pieces, Flight 180 dances us through an album full of good clean fun. The only weak song here is "The Devil is Bad" and that may be because I'm too familiar with The W's version. "Get Happy" and grab a copy of Lineup today.
